Unless you think Celtic are a bigger club than us with more fans than us? Behave yourself, you're the one quoting them as a benchmark. However, I do know from the experience of sitting in a less than full European semi final,that we have varying degrees of interest from the fans outside the hard core. and if the GCC bring in the parking restrictions then we will see a drop in attendance, can't say how much.

I don't buy in to this. It's almost as if some would be using it as an excuse to not come. There's trains, subways, and buses. There's a park and ride not too far away.

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 To be honest Ibrox is the Main Stand nothing else, you show someone a photo of the back of the Govan they will just look at you. Show them a photo of the Main stand they will tell you it's the home of Rangers, I hate the fact it doesn't get more exposure during a game as it's just as impressive from the inside as the front. So on that note the other 3 stands can go whenever they like most of us never stood on the terraced slopes of Ibrox so we don't miss it, just the same applies to the young Bears who haven't yet sat in the current Ibrox, their Ibrox will be the one they live through. But for us all one thing remains the same that glorious Main Stand that will forever be the home of Rangers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit off topic in this thread but if everyone parked away from the stadium all your doing is moving the problem to another area and I would love to see our public transport deal with 40k folk all turning up at once. This is nothing more than a scam by GCC to make some extra money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I think hospitality is something that needs looked out. It's easy money to get people and sponsorships in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in Carntyne, and I get folk parking around my area on matchdays. I'm glad they're enforcing it for them too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no the residents can go fuck themself according to GCC as long as they are getting their £10 a vehicle per game. You want to tell me and thousands others who travel on supporters buses from miles away just how we are meant to go about this? Please we are all ears.

Something needs to be done about supporters buses. The demand is huge and more and more are parking on PRW it's making it really bad at the end of games. The club need to get a bit of land to put the buses in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree mate, any redevelopment of the Ibrox area should include parking, but we both know GCC won't bother their arse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye dobt have to go to the extreme like they have but having 1 type of food outlet, tellys that don't work etc. Isn't great. Could be modernised a bit and maybe we become more attractive as a location for concerts and make more coincide from it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

New seats, outside and inside touched up...we have been crying out for that for many years now. I'm not sure when we will be in a position to even do that mind you, has King or any of the others ever been asked about this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfsup2 1,540 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Govan rear has a few lights out on the roof and the usual toilets cud do with a upgrade just needs a bit of TLC . We have 2 food outlets now there's a new McGhee one which we have started using. A carton of lentil soup and a roll for £3.00 plus pies ,rolls if you want other stuff. They ran out of soup the first few games but seem okay now seem to realise the demand? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by what I've read mate it will cost £10 to park match day, mind you I've read it twice and it didn't make any sense both times. As you say an OF game will absolute carnage, as usual GCC not thinking things through properly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
